What Will Save Our Farmers.


This is a very important question,
and one that is asked almost every day
by thoughtful men, as they gaze over
scope after scope of our farming coun-
try, that was once beautiful level, rich
and sp'endidly cultivated, but which
now presents year afteryear an aspect
of declining beauty and fertility.
There are two important questions for
all those who feel an interest in the
welfare of their country, to consider
first what is the real cause of certain
parts of our country so decliningP
Second. what will save the whole
country from becoming worth
less? In regard to the first, is
it because the farmers do not
work as hard as they formerly did, or
as steadily as they should? Such can
not be the case, for almost every farm
cr will tell you that he works much
harder now than he did ten or fifteen
years ago. or before the war; Is it
because the general drift of things in
these declining sections seems against
farmers? Certainly not
To express it in the fewest words, it
is simply because the farmers do not
cultivate intcnsivelv and scientifically.
The remedy, then, TO restore such
countries, so rs to make farming
profitable, is simply TO farm on q
scientific and intensive scale; or, in
other words, TO cultivate less ground
and cultivate it better, adopt
ing and using all the
most-improved methods of cultiva-
ton. While it is true that it will take
many years of seemingly and perhaps
Improbable labor TO restore such
WORKOUT sections, yet there is but one
way 10 succeed in doing so. and that
is, as the old adagc says. 10 stick to it
and finally by intensive and scientific
work, and by the necessary restora-
tives, the farmer may bring his land
back to its former fertility. and in.
stead of decreasing in value. as now.
it will yearly increase until it shall
bloom like the rose, and the farmer S
home spread an influence for industry,
education and Christianity throughout
the length and breadth of the land -

Difficulties in the Way.

Each year men meet with discOm-
agements and disappontments with
the hog crop; but these are not COM
mon to all every year. Cholera has
been aud still is the greatest annoy
ance, but it does not catch all. Those
that escape meet the demand with
their crop. But dlscouragements re-
sulting from the weather are common
to all this year. While it is claimed
that loss by disease may be within the
control of the farmer, no man is fool
hardy enough to claim that the losses
that come to us this year on account of
the drought could have been controlled
by us. But this does not prevent us
undertaking them 10 a certain ex-
tent. The farmer counted on a crop
of pumpkins with his corn. A heavy
crop of potatoes was expected
at planting, the small ones
for the pigs. A crop of sugar cane
was calculated on to fill the gap be-
tween the harvest gleanings and new
corn. A heavy crop of Indian corn
was the corner stone on which was
built many bright hopes ::for the flu
ture. But ali have failed to q great
er or less extent. and the failure is of
such an extent that all men are
brought in close sympathy. The pig
raiser needs what feed he has. and is
f rLunate if he does not need more.
With all this disappointment we do
not expect that the corn-growers and
hog-raiscrs will lose hope, but rather
that they are already laying their
plans for greater things another year
Those fields that missed grass must go
to corn, which can't help but be n fair
price next year, and we reason that
hogs will do well, so much so that
every man will try to have few TO
market. - National St0cbman and

Cotton Seed But No Lint.

We have received from Captain W.
B. Bryan, of Button, Ga, specimen
bolls from avigorous and prolific stalk
of cotton which contain q full compile
ment of seeds, but not a vestige of
lint. Captain Bryan wishes to know
the cause of this "new departure" Of
the cotton plant. We are unable to
assign the cause. but consider the case
as one of those freaks of nature not
uncommon in vegetable and animal
life, and which frequently suggest
and become the basis of new
varieties; or it may be an il
lustration of q reversion to the
original type, which is not uncommon.
Such freaks or reversions sometimes
serve as the foundation for valuable
new variety of plant or animal. In
this case the possible indication is that
the production of cotton seed may be-
come more profitable than the produc-
ton of lint 1t would be an interest
ing experiment TO plant the seeds of
this stalk and note the results in sue
cessive years. The specimen is very
suggestive of okra, which is n closely
allied genus of the same order of
plants that includes cotton. --Dirie

their cattle. We publish the follow
ing on the subject from Mr. A. B.
Allen, of New York, in the columns OF
the breeders Gage.te:
As was formerly engaged in New
York many years in purchasing and
shipping improved cattle TO my friends
in the South Atlantic States. Twill give
Mr. Balch. of Arkansas, the method of
treating them:
Spring calves were purchased, from
six TO nine months old. and shipped
not earlier than the month of Novem-
Der. so as TO insure cool weather and
freedom from the torment of insects
on their transit They were fed from
their arrival South and long afterward
with the same food. or its equivalent,
that we are in the habit of giving our
cattle at the North. In addition to
this, rs soon rs the warm weather
came on in March they were put into
well-ventiated stables or sheds. dark
ened so much during the day as to
keep out flies or other annoy
ing insects. Near shutdown, and
early in the morning till the sun was
an hour or so high, they were allowed
TO exercise in large dry yard or in
pasture, and supplied with all the pure
water they would drink, morning,
noon and night.
Some persons think they can turn
out their stock. safely to Craze in past
ure through the night, because it is
then cool and insects will not trouble
them, but my friends at the South in
formed me that the night dcws were
as injurious to their cattle rs the hot
sun By day, and to insure their good
health they must be kept out of ii.
l have no experience of the climate
at Little Rock, Ark, and do not know
that it is as warm n one as that of the
South Atlantic States and Louisiana
and Lower Texas. The offspring of
Northern improved cattle may be
less cared for at the South than above
detailed, and the grades got by bulls
out. of native cows may probably be
treated the same as the pure natives
and with equal safety, although the
Improvement in them over pure natives
will be considerable.

SOUTHERN AGRICULTURAL.
Eggs in the South.

There is no industry in this country
that is so closely watched and moro
carefully computed than the poultry
b0olAess. An exceedingly interesting
table has been prepared showing the
annual yield of eggs per fowl in dozens
in each State. Maine heads the list
with seven and fiye-tenths dozen eggs
for each hen in the State; Massachu-
sets comes next with seven and two
tenths dozens and Connecticut follows
with seven and e-tenth dozens. New
Hampshire ranks fourth with six and
ninc-t enths dozens and Rhode Island
keeps up the record with six and
rour-tcnihs dozens. In these five
extreme Eastern States we find the
aens producing more eggs every year
In making up this record all fowls
are considered as mongrcls, but in the
States named the pure breeds greatly
predominant. The market there is the
best the country affords. mixed farm
ing prevails and the producers have
greater incentives 10 spur them on.
But what are the causes that make a
hen produce more eggs in one section
of the country than in another? The
first is the market, second is the quail
ty of the stock and the third is that
the poultry is regarded as one of the
sources of the family income and is
given proper attention, treatment and
care. The hens Of Indiana and New
York each produce five dozen eggs a
year Tennessee has n record of foul
and seven-tenths dozens; Kentucky
four and four-tenths dozens; North
Caroline three and six-tenths dozens;
Alabama three and two-tenths dozens
South Carolina three and one-tentl
dozens and Louisiana only three dozen.
Thus we see that the Southern S ate'

THE oUTGRoWTH OF A VAST ExpER

The treatment of many thousands of cases
of those chronic weaknesses and distressing
ailments peculiar to females, at the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y,
has afforded a vast experience in nicely
adapting and thoroughly testing remedies
for the cure of woman's peculiar maladies.
DIR. Pierce's FavOrite Prescription
is the outgrowth, or result, of this great
and valuable experience. Thousands of
testimonials, received from patients and
from physicians who have tested it in the
more aggravated and obstinate cases which
had baffied their skill prove il to be the
most wonderful remedy ever devised for
the relief and cure of suffering women. 1t

Mr.. Polk Prince, near Guthrie
KY, and Mr. w. L. Warfeld, near St.
Bethlehem, Tenn, lost n tobacco barn
each by fire recently. A portion of
Mr.. Princes and all of Mr. Warfeld's
six acres-crOp were lost.

Gently sold his flock of sheep with the
expectation of replacing them for less
money, but finding that he could not
do it he gave ten dollars more than no

Fowls thrive best when they go to
roost with their crops well filed with
some sort of dry feed, which requires
considerable time to digest. In the
winter. just before the chickens go to
roost, give them all they will eat of
corn and wheat.
Two tobacco. barns in Simpson
County, Ky, were burned recently,
one belonging to Mr.. Merryman and
the other to Mr. Maburn Sloss. Each
contained large crop of tobacco. The
1887 crop is about all cut in Simpson
County, and wheat sowing is the order
of the day.
A difference in the yield of milk
of four quarts a day, even at two cents

which is the interest at six per cent.

of butter year is equal to the same
amount. With ten cows this counts
up pretty fast.
